[ILUG] More spammers getting through?

[ILUG] More spammers getting through?

Timothy Murphy tim at birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie
Mon Oct 18 00:54:16 IST 2004


I've been noticing a gradual increase 
in the number of spam messages that are getting past SpamAssassin
on my machine over the last 2 or 3 weeks
(not on the ILUG list, I hasten to add).

Are the spammers getting cleverer?
Have they been studying SpamAssassin?

I'm slightly puzzled why they haven't been caught and punished,
since most of them are trying to sell me chemicals,
so I assume they must give valid email or real mail addresses
to get the replies.
